*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[Prince EWS]

What does greenbooked mean?

It means I now make a profit regardless of the result. Those two quick wickets changed the odds drastically so I bet on Pakistan and the draw at the new odds to secure the profit.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Even if SA get a couple if wickets with the new ball, Pakistan would still be well and truly on top. Khurram has played Steyn so comfortably... Even now with the new ball

Blows Steyn a kiss to... WAG

 

[flibbertyjibber]

One of those probably out but won't be given.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hes caught that hasn't he?
Philander > Steyn



Edit:Nah definitely bounced imo... Correct decision

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Can't tell on my pictures, stream not great for a close up view like that needs to be.

 

[91Jmay]

As long as every one of those is treated consistently (not out seems to be the way they go) then I have no real problem with it.

Full credit to Pakistan, not only blunted Steyn but scored relatively freely off him as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Philander still bowling those jaffas. Been unlucky not to get a few more wickets imo... Best bowler on show by far

Very very impressed by Shan Masood. Playing his debut match against a team of SA's calibre and putting on a strong show is a great display by every definition.

Khurram Manzoor played well too, and deserves all the accolades that come his way, but TBH i still don't rate him too highly. I think he had a good day, and he isn'te good enough to continue this in the long run. I would love to be proven wrong though.

I'll be happy if we get a lead of around 100-150, which is still a long way to go tbh. The good part is that SA don't have any top drawer spinners to trouble us in the 4th innings, but our batting line is still pretty fragile and i would not want us to chase anything more than 150 in the final innings.

Misbah enjoying being not under the world of pressure for a change.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I agree that Shan Masood looked quite a bit better.
Great day for Pakistan. Hopefully tomorrow is when the choke starts

 

[kykweer.proteas]

if we are talking hypotheticals here then I am wondering what if SA actually manage to lose this series how will they feel? I mean this Pakistan side lost to the Zimbos just a month back

Do you deem today worthy as being Pakistans day?

To Smali there is no such thing as Pakistan's day. To him the opposition is winning (no matter what the position) until Pakistan actually wins the test. So at this point, to Smali RSA is in lead.

 

[salman85]

No. To smalishah the opposition still gets a moral victory even when Pakistan win on paper. Because, morals are important

Well, it does happen very often.

Regarding today my projections of it being our doomsday seem a little off the mark but I am not convinced yet. Not sure what kind of wicket this is. Seems flatter today than it was yesterday

No. To smalishah the opposition still gets a moral victory even when Pakistan win on paper. Because, morals are important

[Howe_zat]

Yeah ok, Pakistan have my permission to be favourites.

 

[Fusion]

Nah Pakistan didn't end at 1000-0, so it wasn't their day.
